After attending a private event at Ometeo, my group decided to stick around for Happy Hour and I'm so glad we did. What started as "one more stop before heading home" turned into one of the highlights of the evening. From the moment you walk in, Ometeo has an energy that's hard to miss. The restaurant is beautifully designed with two levels of indoor seating, a spacious outdoor patio, and both an indoor and covered outdoor bar. Whether you're meeting friends for Happy Hour, planning a date night, or hosting a celebration, there's a space that fits the occasion. One thing that really impressed me was the variety of private event spaces. They offer everything from fully private rooms to semi-private options that can accommodate seated dinners, cocktail receptions, or standing events. As someone who plans events, I immediately appreciated how thoughtfully the spaces were designed. Happy Hour is offered Monday through Friday from 3-6 p.m. and all day on Sundays, making it an easy excuse to stop by. The prices are reasonable, and there's a great selection of Tex-Mex favorites, cocktails, beer, and wine. We ordered the Carnitas de Puerco and the Chicken Tinga Tacos. After adding a squeeze of lime and a touch of salt to the tacos, they were absolutely delicious. I also ordered the signature Ometeo Margarita, which was beautifully presented and just as refreshing as it looked. What truly completed the experience was the customer service. Everyone we encountered was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, making us feel like they were happy we chose to spend part of our evening there. Between the vibrant atmosphere, beautiful design, delicious food, refreshing cocktails, and outstanding hospitality, Ometeo is much more than a place to grab a meal--it's an experience. Pro tip: Retail parking is complimentary for the first two hours, making it even easier to stop in for Happy Hour. We'll definitely be back. read more

Great spot with a great concept. The food is excellent, and the interiors are beautifully done clearly a lot of thought went into the space. The outdoor patio with the bar is a highlight, great vibes all around. Only critique: the margaritas run a little weak for my taste. Outside of that, no notes. Will def be back. read more

I dined here this evening for the first time and was pretty disappointed. The atmosphere was solid, which is why I gave it 2 stars. I ordered the chips, salsa, and guacamole and the pork belly street tacos (with street corn as a side). The salsa and guacamole lacked any resemblance of flavor. They served green and red salsa, which was a good move but unfortunately they were both incredibly bland. The guacamole was bland as well. The pork belly tacos were not good AT ALL. They were extremely fatty (which I can overlook if they are good) but the red sauce was not good at all and tasted like ketchup. One positive is the street corn was good. I was looking forward to trying this restaurant but unfortunately, it was a big let down. If you're looking for authentic TexMex/Mexican food, I would recommend going somewhere else. read more

Went for a quick bite before a concert at Wolf Trap. My hubby ordered tacos with rice and beans. He said the food was really good. We received good service and management was attentive. It's nice inside with plenty of seating. A bar inside and a large bar and seating outside. read more

My family and I came here for Mother's Day lunch and we didn't have the best experience with our service. The restaurant plays really loud music so it's hard to hear ourselves talk and makes it hard for our waiter to hear. Our waiter was not the friendliest and didn't smile at all. We didn't get refills on our drinks or water unless we flagged down our waiter. Our appetizers were also forgotten. The restaurant itself is beautiful inside but I don't think we would come back here due to the service we received and the food was just okay. You can find better service and food at Rangos tex mex which is just across the street. read more

We visited Ometeo for a late dinner on a Saturday night. We originally requested the lounge but when we arrived, we learned that they didn't have the full menu. We waited for 5 minutes to be seared in a nearly empty restaurant. Once seated service was on the slow side and there was no explanation of the menu. I ordered the "shrimp chimichanga" - it was more of a spring roll and they had no shrimp, no one piece in the 4 small pieces I received. I also expected bacon but there was not a trace. My partner ordered shrimp and chicken fajitas- the shrimp were large (5 came in the serving) but the chicken was dried out and the veggies were overcooked. My friend also ordered their version of chicken soup -kind of looked like pho when it came out, she shared that it was great. We had a few rounds of espresso martinis (one round with Mezcal which was quite interesting). I think Ometeo was just ok, the restaurant was beautiful, I saw the lounge upstairs lots of seating and a live DJ. read more

Ometeo is located in Capital One, Virginia. The entire block is basically Capital One buildings. Nonetheless, the food was decent. Their guacamole was good, their green salsa was good and their chips were good. I had the pork belly tacos and the tacos were nicely constructed and the ingredients paired well. I don't know if I would come here if I wasn't in the area already but it's worth a try if you are. Free parking for 2 hours as well in the open parking lot down the street from it. read more

I was so excited to try this place because I heard good things and the ambiance is fun and clean. However, I didn't love the fish tacos or shrimp chimichanga. Both were oily, resulting in much belching. The regular margarita was watered down sugar water with no alcohol flavor. I probably wouldn't go again even though I'm in that area for other things pretty frequently. read more

I have eaten here since its opening, celebrated many special events and casual dinners. 1. Reservation: recommended, but you will get a table just fine unless you come during special holidays. 2. Food: taste is good but I usually feel indigestion later. - tacos: great! - ceviche: was a bit disappointing. I normally like the taste - meat platter: huge and it is good! 3. Dessert: not good. The cakes are dry and tastes like they had it in the fridge for long 4. Drinks: mixed drinks are great! 5. Service: very accommodating and polite. 6. Ambience is welcoming, warm and can host both small and big parties, including business meetings. 7. Don't order takeout here! It travels poorly and doesn't taste good. Just need to eat it fresh. All in all, a great place. read more

We decided to go here for restaurant week since it's been on my list for a minute. Pretty solid menu with massive portions all things considered. I opted for just a water but landed on the chicken tortilla soup, enchinalas, and some vanilla ice cream. The atmosphere there is pretty cool and they have a sick private event space upstairs. Speaking of upstairs, that's where the bathrooms are too. Single stalls for the dudes, sick. They goofed our ice cream (pina colada instead of vanilla bean) but quickly made it right. Great spot and I look forward to going here when it isn't restaurant week. read more

After our first experience at Ometeo being negative due to service issues a year ago, we tried again and were very pleased with service and food quality. The staff was very attentive and each dish (enchiladas, guacamole and even the. French toast) was wonderfully prepared and tasted great. I would've given the restaurant 5 stars, but it was hard to hear the other person at a two person table as the tables were deep and lots of folks around. Ambiance was lovely. read more

I've been here to eat and for events. The food is Americanized Latin food at best. Flavor is bland. I think my gripe is that during events, I haven't even finished eating or drinking and my food is quickly taken away. Even requesting that I am still working on my food or drink, it's generally disregarded and taken away. It causes the organizer or me to have to order more food and drink. I don't like the game of buying more food and drink just to make more money because I think it is awfully wasteful to just throw away half eaten food and expensive drinks that I would totally eat but am just busy socializing. I end up feeling like I have to hold the items in my hand or eat as fast as I can or else it will be taken away. read more

I was expecting a chill Tex-mex place for dinner after a show at Wolf Trap. And while the ambiance is relaxed, the prices are NOT. I've never seen a $95 fajitas on a menu before!! While there were cheaper options (we got the $25 fajita to share instead), it was overall far more expensive than we expected from a place like this. As far as the quality, it is good. They weren't the greatest fajitas of my life, but they were good. But not good enough for me to pick Ometeo over my favorite Don Julio's or a great hole-in-the-wall Mexican place. read more

Came here with a friend for dinner. We sat outside which was really pleasant! Perfect music level. Nice breeze. Good service. We started with a margarita which was pretty weak. Then we got the queso with chorizo. It was good. Chips, and most things, needed more salt. Chips came with a green salsa that I loved. I got the pascal tacos and loved them! Three come to an order. I also got the beans charros which had a kick. Loved them and serving is big so I made nachos with them the next day. read more

Ometeo - Beet Salad, Ometeo Margarita (8oz) - 1.5 servings - Tex-Mex Near Me - Tysons, Virginia

Upon walking in we were met by extremely kind and helpful hosts. The ambiance and design execution were incredible. I didn't think I'd be getting a smash burger at a Texmex restaurant. It was very lackluster and most definitely not a true smash burger so I was disappointed. I'd give the burger 2 stars honestly. You need to either offer a true smash burger or change the name of the dish on your menu to just "burger". Smash burgers are supposed to be paper thin. I look forward to going back to actually trying their Mexican food :) oh by the way our server (young lady with braces) was EXCELLENT! Give her a raise! read more

Wish I had a better experience than what I received. Hopefully I can give this place another shot

I came with a group of friends for an extended happy hour and tried a bunch of dishes: Dancing Molly oysters, Tinga tacos, Carnitas de Puerco tacos, the Tort, Text Mex smash burger, Chile con Queso, Octopus tostada, and a few cocktails like the Mooeteo Margarita, Fresita Spritz, and frozen agua fresca. The staff were friendly, introduced our menu, and chatted with us before the holiday rush. This place mostly serves the Capital One complex, not many local residents. I was told people come here for the drinks--the food is a mixed bag. Some dishes were hits, but others were misses. For example, the smash burger bun was stale and fell apart, clearly prioritizing presentation over taste. Overall, drinks are great, service is solid, parking is easy, and the environment is fun--but nothing really stood out. Feels more like a corporate crowd spot than a local gem. It might have a different vibe once the weather warms up, but for now, it's just a place I'd visit if I were nearby. read more

We had a very large party and ordered lots of fajitas along with some tacos. The marinated chicken fajitas and the skirt steak were cooked perfectly. The lobster tostada was absolutely delicious. Service was not the best. I understand we were a big group, but our waiter had an attitude that left us less than thrilled. The restaurant itself is really nice and beautifully set up. It has a very aesthetic vibe and even some kind of lounge upstairs with a DJ. Overall, the food and atmosphere were outstanding, though we would have loved friendlier service. read more

Ometeo has a fun, lively vibe that makes it a great after-work hangout. We came by on a Tuesday evening, and the place was packed the entire time, especially around happy hour. It's conveniently located right off the McLean Metro stop, which made getting there super easy--and with a Capital One building right next door, it's no surprise the after-work crowd rolls in hard. The service was a bit slow, but honestly, given how busy it was, it was understandable. They start you off with free chips and salsa, which is always a win. You get two types: a creamy verde and a classic red salsa--both were tasty and a great way to kick things off. We shared a few starters, including the ceviche, which had nice flavor but leaned more heavily on avocado than fish. We also tried the basic salad with cactus and mixed greens. For the main, we had the chicken mole. The mole was a little on the sweet side for my taste--I was hoping for a touch more spice and depth. Also, it was served with rice instead of tortillas, and while that's a personal preference, I think tortillas would've been a better pairing. read more

Good fajitas, corn tortillas and beans, in a beautiful restaurant, but may not be worth it due to hassle getting there and the parking. Maybe if you're planning to see a show or work at CrapitalOne. Service: 3 Hostess sat us right next to a very loud party (and did this to a few other clients as well) while there were other tables open. We asked to be moved. The others asked to moved as well. Rather silly, but she was young. Waitress thought we ordered a mixed drink when we ordered beer. Misheard I guess. Ambiance: 4 Pretty cool place with nice decor and music, unless you're sat next to an annoying loud party Parking Hassle: 2 Not worth it IMO unless you are going to a show or meeting for a special occasion. Corn Tortillas: 4 Above average Lobster Tostada: 3 Not much wow, but very expensive Pork Belly Tacos: 3 Standard, nothing special Fajitas: 4 Highlight. Nice to have poblano peppers (instead of gringo peppers) and fried cheese. Steak was good quality. Beans: 4 Properly made the traditional way (no gas attack later) read more

Came to Ometeo before a show. Did make reservations and was glad I did as it was very busy when we came in- though the restaurant is quite large with a 21+ lounge upstairs, and a large bar area. Bathrooms are upstairs; they were clean and well appointed. Service was great, everything came out paced well to get us to show on time. Food: Delicious! From the complimentary chips and two types of salsa (green and red), to the dessert (chocolate coconut cake), we enjoyed our meal. We had guacamole in addition to the salsa. He had steak tacos, I had fish tacos, and we also had the kids buid your own steak tacos meal. Everything was so delicious and impressive. I thought the cake was moist and great. read more

We went here for Cinco de Mayo! I think the vibes and decor were awesome and genuinely the place was packed! Which is great!! The mariachi band was fantastic and I love that they came up and sang at our table. But unfortunately this is kinda where the "great" part ends... They have happy hour all day, but the pricing is still absurd. They sell three tacos for $22+ and they are barely filled with anything besides a meat, cilantro, and onion. Please, I beg, go somewhere else for tacos. The best entree item we had was a hotdog. This is a Mexican restaurant. The queso was good and we enjoyed the free chips. Also the agua Fresca cocktail was fantastic. The service was also fine. If you're looking for a good Mexican restaurant, I unfortunately say go somewhere else. read more

Ambiance was great. Service was good and attentive. But the main item is always the food, which was a huge mismatch between the price and quality. In any event, the food was not outstanding. They're better Mexican cuisine restaurants in the area. I don't think we'll be coming here again. Sizzler was not sizzling : the enchiladas were swimming in a red sauce; Tacos were quite simple, small and simple. read more

Pretty price for subpar food and drinks ($27 fajitas, $7 side of rice and beans, you can easily spend $100 on a couple of entrees and drinks). The restaurant is spacious - good for large parties with a vibrant ambiance and some outdoor space. Glad to see complimentary chips and salsa! The warm fried chips are delicious and the best part of our meal! The salsa has a very spicy kick particularly the green Salsa Verde, and prefer the more mild Brown salsa. The $14 for Guacamole is a bit pricey and can be a hit/miss. The fresh crispy chips are usually served warm and the guac had a spicy kick with some chili powder sprinkled on top and surprisingly stayed fresh the next day, last time the guac was a bit soggy. You get also get a side side of it. The Veggie Fajitas have gone downhill since the restaurant opened. It used to come with grilled mushrooms, sweet potato, pineapple and sadly hasn't been the same experience since and the hearty veggies seem to have disappeared! It's now just grilled corn with some peppers and onions. The chunky Nopales cactus veggie was too big to stuff into the tortillas. Mushrooms and peppers would pare better.The crispy manchego cheese is the best part served with a mix of warm flour/corn tortillas made daily in-house along with rice and beans. On the Brunch menu - Huevos Rancheros was okay. It was the standard crispy round tacos shells with a sunny side eggs and black beans soaking in spicy mole sauce and mild green verde sauce. The sourdough Pancakes are ginormous and fluffy. While the pancakes were topped with neatly adorned candied pecans and apple preserve, I wish there was more compote as the pancakes were a bit bland and dry. The Breakfast Burrito are HUGE and was absolutely stuffed, and regretfully conquered it! It's like a a foot long and a Chipotle burrito feels like a baby in comparison! The Burrito came with scrambled eggs, potatoes, onions (I swapped chorizo for the onions), it was quite dense and heavy. The Kids menu is surprisingly really good, the Cheese Quesadilla was a crispy and delicious, and a generous size! The cocktail are pre-made in large batches on draught. my favorites are the Guava & Hibiscus Margarita, and the Mezcal Mule. Both the Maverick cocktail with vanilla vodka, guava-hibiscus cordial, lime, served with sparkling wine & passion fruit caviar and Above the Clouds Negroni cocktail with strawberry-infused mezcal, vermouth, aperitivo mazzura, arroz were watered down. I wish the drinks were made to order. If you're going to a show and craving Mexican food or work at Capital One, Ometeo might be worth checking out. Given the plethora of Mexican restaurants in Tyson's Corner, there are lots of better and more affordable options (hint hint: El Bebe at the Boro). read more
